"“I hate the behavior of these players now, and I have been on Beckham many times this year about the stuff that’s going on. And what I have seen in the last couple of games — the wagging of the tongue, the nonsense in the end zone, the me me me stuff — to me, it all boiled over yesterday in one of the worst, worst performances and completely me, self-aggrandizing, nonsensical, just dangerous at times performance by Beckham yesterday.“Here’s a case of a player who just has gotten so big, so fast while his team has won absolutely nothing, which is what you detest about what goes on in sports now. All you have to do is make it about you now in this world of video and fantasy and statistics — it doesn’t even matter if your team wins. In the old days, your team had to win before you got the spoils. Now, you get the spoils when your team is lousy. And he’s played on a second straight bad team.”“I hate the behavior of these players now, and I have been on Beckham many times this year about the stuff that’s going on.
